Big-budget action films have always drawn crowds, but perhaps 2016 -- a year that can easily be likened to the sensation of doing a cool split on the dance floor at a party and accidentally splitting your ass up the middle straight to your skull while your friends look on in horror, some vomiting at the sight of your two halves continuing to dance to "Starboy" -- prompted some of us to seek out a tale of good versus evil.

After a year like this one, we need all the heroes we can get, fictional or otherwise.
